Watchmatch of the day: 2 good, 2 bad
“I’ve often played a great match after having sex. Watch the 4-0 of the Roma-Juve match. I had sex that Sunday morning with one of the many friends I had at the time. It was even easier in Madrid because we were in a hotel, all on the same floor, so it was easy to invite whomever I wanted from upstairs or downstairs and meet her during the night. I had a friend who was a waiter. His job was...

WAG-off: Abbey Clancy vs Jodie Marsh
the story of the night was a dichotomy between two women. One, Abbey Clancy, provided some much needed class to the event, looking frankly delectable in an understated black ensemble, while the other, Jodie Marsh, took the complete opposite tack.
oh abbey clancy, why are you together with this clown?
Giggsy vs Burmese political prisoner?

The chances of their paths ever crossing were minimal, but now Ryan Giggs and Dr Aung San Suu Kyi are...

Adebayor is a waste of space
seriously, this guy is such an asshole. he refused to play, for his country, because the federation president was not going to be on the plane with the team and he figured that must mean there was some sort of conspiracy to shoot down the plane or something. the reason the president was not flying with the squad: his mother’s funeral.
